(In)fertility
Explore the fundamentals of fertility hormones, effective hormone tracking with the Mira device, and interpreting hormonal changes after interventions.
This foundational module provides an overview of the key physiological components required for natural conception. Providers will review the roles of healthy cervical mucus, ovulation, and reproductive cell viability in the context of the female reproductive cycle.
Topics covered include:
• The essential conditions for conception: a healthy egg, viable sperm, and fertile-quality cervical mucus
• The process and timing of ovulation, including how ovaries alternate in releasing a mature egg
• The fertile window: while the egg remains viable for just 12–24 hours after ovulation, sperm can survive for up to 5 days when supported by high-quality cervical mucus, making the days leading up to and including ovulation critical for conception
• The site and timing of fertilization, which occurs in the fallopian tube when sperm are present before or at the time of ovulation.
This module equips providers with the physiological context necessary to support patient education, cycle tracking, and fertility-focused interventions.
Course Description:
This short educational module offers a foundational overview of the menstrual cycle and how hormone monitoring can provide valuable insights into ovulatory patterns and cycle health.
Designed for clinicians and health professionals, this session explains the timing and coordination of key reproductive hormones—FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone—throughout a typical 28-day cycle.
The video walks through a detailed menstrual cycle graph, highlighting:
The progression from menstruation to ovulation and into the luteal phase.
The role of the ovary, follicular development, and the formation of the corpus luteum.
How hormone shifts signal ovulation and confirm whether it occurred.
The use of hormone monitors to map E3G, LH, FSH, and PdG trends across the cycle.
Case examples of ovulatory cycles visualized through hormone data.
This module supports practitioners in understanding how hormone trends can be used to time interventions, track fertility, and enhance patient education.
Description: This module explores how at-home hormone monitoring is transforming fertility care by enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making. Providers have traditionally relied on static lab draws, cycle tracking apps, or indirect markers like cervical mucus and temperature. Mira changes this by offering direct, quantitative hormone measurements through urinary metabolites—delivered in real time.
You'll learn how Mira allows clinicians to:
• Visualize hormone patterns across the full cycle
• Detect imbalances not captured by patient-reported data
• Monitor progress and response to interventions
• Improve patient engagement and compliance
• Accurately time diagnostics, supplements, and fertility support.
We’ll also review how Mira’s fluorescent technology offers lab-grade insights from home and how it enables both providers and patients to engage meaningfully with the data for more personalized, effective care.
Description: In this candid and clinically insightful conversation, Dr. Carrie Jones and Rose MacKenzie explore the critical role of hormone tracking in modern fertility care. Through practical examples and engaging discussion, they highlight when to recommend hormone testing, how to interpret Mira data, and why real-time hormone monitoring is reshaping the way providers support patients on their fertility journey.
Tailored for healthcare professionals, this module covers key clinical applications of hormone tracking, including:
• Identifying the full fertile window—not just ovulation
• Monitoring patient response to treatments and lifestyle interventions
• Assessing for underlying hormone imbalances
• Timing interventions with cycle-based precision
Dr. Jones also shares her personal experience using hormone tracking and offers practical guidance on how providers can incorporate Mira into their workflow—starting with testing it themselves. Whether you're new to fertility care or seeking to enhance your approach, this module offers valuable strategies to help you deliver more accurate, timely, and individualized care through hormone tracking.
